Token Terminal’s data shows that the Layer 2 networks Fraxtal (by Frax Finance) and Ink have recently ranked among the leaders in weekly bridge deposits, indicating a notable uptick in value being moved onto these chains. This metric tracks how much capital users are transferring from other networks via token bridges, and is often used as a proxy for user demand and liquidity migration across L2 ecosystems. Fraxtal is an EVM‑equivalent rollup built on the OP Stack (“Optimium”) and part of the broader Frax Finance ecosystem, with a dedicated mainnet bridge that allows users to move FRAX, ETH, and other ERC‑20 assets between Ethereum and Fraxtal. The Fraxtal bridge follows the Optimism-style design: deposits from Ethereum to Fraxtal typically finalize within minutes, while withdrawals back to Ethereum use a 7‑day challenge period, partially mitigated by auxiliary tools such as Frax Ferry. Token Terminal’s bridge-deposit dashboard for Fraxtal reports a weekly average in the ~hundreds of millions of dollars range and a measurable share of total L2 bridge flows, underscoring growing adoption of Fraxtal’s rollup and its native bridging stack. For the Frax ecosystem, higher bridge inflows are important because they deepen liquidity for assets like FRAX and frxETH on Fraxtal and support Frax’s broader modular rollup and incentive strategy. Ink, meanwhile, is another network that has seen substantial bridge activity, with Token Terminal listing it among the top L2s by all‑time weekly average bridge deposits. Ink offers a bridge that ingests tokens from multiple major networks (including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, BNB Chain, Polygon, Optimism, Avalanche, and others) so that users can bring liquidity onto Ink and then trade or engage in staking and yield strategies there. Strong bridge inflows into Ink suggest that users are actively routing capital into the network’s DeFi and on‑chain opportunities, and that Ink is competitive within the broader L2 and app-chain landscape for attracting cross‑chain liquidity. In combination, the data for Fraxtal and Ink highlights how bridge volumes have become a key comparative metric for L2 traction, reflecting where users are choosing to deploy capital across the expanding rollup ecosystem.
